    Marine Radio Parker 2530

    I like the Standard Horizon Best...WHY? Because it has the Smallest Footprint. Equal Power to the rest, Big numbers to easily read and yet the smallest box. Look at model GX1400G..... Has built in GPS, so no wiring to run to your GPS.

    2002 2320 repower question

    Yep and I figured that would be a good prop for that one. I'd really like to see your fuel millage numbers after breakin is complete.

    AGM to Lithium - 06 F225 BEP Cluster Switch

    My DF300 Suzzy would do a fairly steady 14.2v..... But that would still be short of requirements.

    AGM to Lithium - 06 F225 BEP Cluster Switch

    In my little research.... It seems that the Lithium's do not get a FULL charge off the Alt. Lithium's need a higher charging rate which is given by a designated charger for them.

    Sharrow prop on 2024 21SE w/2023 F150

    I've read about them and determined that they were out of the scope of my pocketbook to try. I would try a phone call.

    2520 XLD fuel economy

    It's better with a Big single..... WHY? Less drag.

    Weighing options for isolated dual battery, single engine setup

    1] Yes 2]No Clue... Look at the Spec and measure. 3] Delete it. 4] Not Sure..... I'd need to physically look the circuit over.... I was mainly concerned about safety and that the circuit was protected properly.

    Seeking advice on repowering a 2001 2300 dvcc

    I agree with what Pelagric said.... It 1st looked from the pix not to be as steep of deadrise. Bracket alone has nothing to do with it. They are easy to measure on the trailer. With a angle finder...Lay in on the bottom at the transom Port side.... Write that number down...Now on STB side...

    Seeking advice on repowering a 2001 2300 dvcc

    Thats a Medium V Hull [14degs] It needs a 25in shaft engine. Mine would not trim the Lower unit All the way out of the water. Same deadrise, same med V..... '95 2530 / 300 Suzzy. Didn't bother me, as the boat was trailered.

    Weighing options for isolated dual battery, single engine setup

    Your Looking at the Wrong BEP Cluster [BEP715-H] The one to use is [716-SQ-140A-DVSR] I've installed a LOT of these. Forget the AUX. wire. You will need to parallel the Thruster Battery with the House battery and treat it as ONE battery... BUT.... I actually do not like that and that is a...

    Parker 21 Se 150HDPI Fuel Consumption

    That sounds High @ 3MPG. You go back Old School... Pencil & Paper ... Fill it up @ the same spot each time. Reset trip meter on Chartplotter.

    New thru hull

    Manufactures don't do it a Lot of times, but the fitting your talking about I like to see screwed into a Seacock. That aside. Bronze below the waterline.... 3/16 Stainless above is what I like. https://defender.com/en_us/groco-combo-xl-bronze-thru-hull-without-nut Click the box to add the nut...

    21' SE

    Adding to what Bodick said. Tank cost's have went Crazy. Called my buddy that builds them and he said $18 - $20 gal now. It used to be $12-$13 before Bidenisum. On a CC Your getting into wiring. But wait, You Only want a new tank. Yes, but console has to be moved and wiring and control...

    Show Me Your Winch Stand Setups

    And HERE....You can see how it's supposed to be.... Your trailer is to small.

    Show Me Your Winch Stand Setups

    I agree with Antidote. I didn't see it at first due to pix angle. Bunks not going all the way to the transom "Have" caused a "Hook" in the hull from sitting like that over the years. Trailers are like anchors.... If the manufacture recommends a 23-25ft model for a 23ft boat...... Get the...

    Help Trolling Motor Nightmare

    Look Closely. The Top is a 1 piece screw bolt. The bottom is a 2 piece.... Stud is 1 piece and knob another piece. Why is this important? You want those Studs out of the way when installing / Removing a battery. Most.... not all. Batteries don't just pull straight up out of a tray. They...

    Show Me Your Winch Stand Setups

    You do not have any "closeup's". but I presume the strap goes below that roller? That helps to lock the boat in. IE: not move forward in a panic stop. What YOU are proposing will let the boat move....This is without stern Tie downs... Which I do Not recommend doing without. Some things you...

    Help Trolling Motor Nightmare

    The concern is ..... Will the battery wiggle around when strapped down? Most of the ones with a plastic tray and a plastic buckle band they move around. The one that GetALong posted has a ratchet strap.... That one is going to cinch them down well....and release easy also. Something that the...

    Help Trolling Motor Nightmare

    For the "Standard" Gp24 & Gp27's, I only use The Attwood model like this. Not to be confused with THIS one. For odd sizes [Read Lithem 24 & 36V] I build custom Starboard trays. They have a 2in Starboard surround around the battery. It has recessed T nuts and thread-All installed into...

    2520XLD Anchor and chain

    Yes, it was a 2530.... It's now in Alaska. That is correct and must be BBB or G4 chain. Moving to 5/16 requires a different windless. It also requires larger rope. These Parkers have fairly small anchor lockers....Larger rope = Less length. LOL Your not picking the boat up with it...
